Samsung Galaxy Note 10 - Rumours and leaks

Piesang · Dec 11, 2019

My Note 10 Plus is constantly on Wifi. I will be testing it on MTN network from Friday to see how battery life is. I know with my Note 8 the Cellphone Networks kills a battery very quickly. And that is because of a terrible infrastructure. Where I live, I get about 5-10 mbps on LTE.

I have actually been a bit disappointed in the note 10 plus battery life. However, I think the 2nd sim which is Cell C, constantly switches between On/Off/Roaming/Rinse/Repeat at my house which used to kill my previous phone batteries so the same might be happening here.
Also I havent taken into account the size and resolution of the screen, so might have been expecting too much.
But overall the phone has been a big power boost.
Also love that the dual sim phone supports volte on MTN and cell C wifi calling at the same time.

MTN is my sim 1 and main data provider. I just use Cell C for voice calls cos its way cheaper.
MTN is solid at most places I go. So dont think you will have too many issues with battery life with MTN.
Cell C and Telkom have always been an issue for me. My Note 4 barely lasted with Telkom and 4G.

Anyone having network quality problems on Vodacom ?

Might be related to the load shedding but not expected from Vodacom, wondering if it is a Note 10 problem.

if you just want the Star Wars theme ,you can sideload it .( no root )
i've got it working on my Note 10+
Straight forward to install .No issues .
Personally ,for me just the theme is nothing " special "
Yes ,the completed Star wars Special edition package , seems worthwhile ....

Anyone ever had issues with the ear speaker or poor sound while on a call?

First one I'm opening today and quite interesting to find that the ear speaker is a good 1 CM from the top of the display. Never seen a design like this before. Ear speaker is generally at the very top with a grill covering the gap where the sound travels through.

Can't work out where the sound is supposed to travel in and out as the display is directly under the ear piece with no holes.

Never used one so would be interesting to hear if any of you can hear a difference in call audio quality compared to other models?

Interesting design, because the actual speaker is located a centimeter below the selfie cam

Strange (or maybe not) that the Samsung S10 has received the Android 10 update, but the Note 10 hasn't yet.
The Android 10 update was OTA a couple of days ago already, yet the latest firmware for the Note 10 is still the release from November 03.
